is this a SOF unit? they have some nice toys
Looks like airsoft or bb gun replica, very familiar to what Umarex used/still makes. I doubt H&K or the German government would sell these to anyone since their strict law with export of arms.
(DW did make a documentary about how South American police and cartel got hands om German-branded firearma through American-subsidiary thus shortcut the German export law)
If PLA got hands on H&K G36 i am curious how

G36 is widely exported beyond Germany though on occasion the German government has cracked down on H&K for such. Post 2015 H&K stated it stopped sales to non NATO states. Germany’s crack downs were in the last decade really and basically ran a number of German small arms makers out of the country. Restrictions are especially strict after the 2019 case was decided against H&K for having sold G36 rifles to the Mexican Police between 2006-2009.
Farther in the case of G36 a number of nations received licensing from Germany like Saudi Arabia to build them.
Next. China has been a G36 user for some time. The Hong Kong Police force received G36 sometime around the turn of the millennium. At that time period both HK and H&K were on a better position for open trade of the G36 series due to the HKPF having been organized and operated under the British colonial administration. The peaceful transition of sovereignty for both HK and Macau from European administration to Beijing under the established treaties
It wouldn’t be until the yellow umbrella protests and the changes in policy between the mainland/HK as well as the police response and the actions in HK. That the relationship between the HK government and H&K as well as other western arms manufacturers and their respective governments would be broken.
In the aftermath of that HKPF had to change arms makers, for a hot minute it looked like they were going to be buying from Sig but that was cancelled as farther restrictions were put in place, meaning that they will likely in the future be buying Norinco products.
With the HKPF having an existing large armory of American and European arms it wouldn’t be surprising to have some been made available for training by specialized units.
When you completely rewrite your post to another with a different meaning it’s hard to respond.
Your original comment pointed to the Lybian G36 rifles discovered in 2011. To date it’s impossible know exactly what happened in that case. H&K, the German government and German authorities investigated. H&K pointed out one of the first major issues for such was that the rifles serial numbers were destroyed and replaced with new sets. This made it impossible to identify the actual sources although the rifles were know to have been manufactured in 2003. German officials investigating found no export licenses were or could have been issued.
They concluded with the theory that the rifles had been redirected illicitly from an Egyptian order of 606 rifles it’s unknown just how many were in Lybia. G36 wasn’t the only one of interest to be found in Gaddafi’s arms safes. Over 300 Belgian FN F2000 and GL1 grenade launchers were also in his armories. Though the more prevalent of was over 20,000 Ak103s.
